The 16 divers who worked in shifts so they could change oxygen tanks sat on the bottom of a pool in Geiselhoering, playing a traditional Bavarian card game called 'Sheep's head'.
Organiser Eric Schlegelmilch said: "We gave up counting who owed what after an hour. We didn't want anyone going belly up."
Now the group plan to contact Guinness World Records officials with a video record of their stunt.
